An iPhone 4 is seen on the table next to Zhu Lin, the owner of an Alibaba rural service centre in Yuzhao Village, Tonglu, Zhejiang province, China, July 20, 2015. E-commerce growth in the countryside now outpaces that in major cities, though fewer than one tenth of online purchases made on Alibaba platforms were shipped to rural areas in the first quarter of this year. Alibaba estimates the potential market at 460 billion yuan ($74 billion) by next year. Picture taken July 20. REUTERS/Aly Song
